Recommendation | Daiso Eye Brow Coat

Helloz. I have a recommendation today, and it's a little something that will cost you less than a plate of chicken rice.

And it is this dodgy looking thing right here:

Do you eyebrows NEVER stay in place? Does your eyeliner make you look like Jiajia & Kaikai's sibling at the end of a long day, or worse yet, after a mere two hours? FRET NOT, EYE BROW COAT IS HERE TO SAVE THE DAY!! -trumpet fanfare-

Alright moving on from that...

Daiso beauty products can be a little iffy; some of them suck really, really bad (don't ever waste your time with their liquid foundation btw).  Who would take a look at this thing with its insipid packaging and decide that it looks like a great product? Let's be real, no one that's who.

Okay, so what is it, really?  Well, it's like a top coat for your face. You basically brush this stuff on your brows to keep your brow makeup and brow hairs in place.

I've used it on my brows before, and while it made my brows slightly stiff and "crispy", this stuff seriously works. My brows did not budge.

However, since I don't have much of an issue with untamed brows or my eyebrow makeup wearing off throughout the day, I decided to use it on my liquid eyeliner instead.

 If you read my previous post, you'd know that the current liner I'm using smudges like oil pastels. My eyelids are very creasy to begin with (I have triple lids) so all the rubbing action they get up to throughout the day means this smudging problem isn't uncommon for me.  I just realised that I previously said I don't have anything that should get in the way of long lasting liner; I take that back, I guess I do - creasy lids! However, while most liners only smudge slightly on me, the Maybelline one smudges A LOT.

I kid you not, this stuff can withstand some formidable rubbing. Here's proof:

Both the lines are drawn with the Maybelline HyperSharp Liner (yes, the one with absolutely no staying power). Leftie over here is naked while Rightie has on the Eye Brow Coat. And... yup, Leftie gets obliterated by the rubbing finger. Rightie, however, stays nicely in place.  (Yes I gave the lines nicknames)

Apart from bring rub proof, this stuff is oil proof and water proof as well. By that I mean it's resistant to your face oils and sweat; I still do remove it with an oil based makeup remover and while it takes more swipes and more soak time, this proves that this stuff isn't 100% oil proof so don't get your expectations THAT high.

Best part? It costs $2. So pop by a Daiso and see if you can find this hidden gem!

Much love,

Denicia
